A close relative of mine suffers from chronic pain in her shoulder, arm and wrist despite regular acupuncture and PT. I had read a bit about the possible benefits of turmeric in helping fight inflammation over the past several years, and her doctors had recommended it to her as well. Turns out, she is not a fan of the taste of turmeric AT ALL, so she opted for a turmeric supplement instead at the recommendation of her doctors. I on the other-hand, began doing some research into recipes with turmeric since I had not cooked with it myself, and became obsessed with golden milk—a calming drink made with turmeric, spices, and a heated milk alternative like coconut milk or almond milk. I love to make a large mug, and drink it before bed while reading a good book! Starbucks and plenty of coffee shops are now carrying it, but it’s easy and much less expensive to make at home, or you can also buy a pre-made mix like this one. Beyond golden milk, there are tons of recipes with turmeric—especially traditional indian recipes and curries, considering the root has been used in indian cooking and medicine for thousands of years. To get started, try out some of the recommendations listed below!
